On Saturday August 23rd 2014, we arranged for several families in Saigon to join us on a tour to Can Gio Mangrove Forest, in collaboration with Australia International School Vietnam.
Can Gio is a protected Unesco Biosphere Reserve of thick mangrove swamps with remarkably rich biodiversity, which remains one of Vietnam’s best kept secrets.
Our families departed Saigon early Saturday morning aboard our luxury speedboats to begin an amazing itinerary starting at a local riverside Mekong Delta market.
From there our boats meandered through the sleepy backwaters of picturesque Can Gio. We visited the Vam Set Eco Park, where the kids enjoyed meeting monkeys and feeding crabs, and boat rowing through the eerily quiet bat lagoon.
One of the most exciting parts of the tour was the crocodile feeding, which the parents enjoyed as much as the kids! Afterwards, the kids had the chance to hold adorable little baby crocs!
After a day full of adventures, a traditional Vietnamese lunch was enjoyed, before heading back to Saigon by speedboat, where the kids where presented with our Young Explorers Club certificates and some goodies from Les Rives.
A great day out was had by all!
